I treat Mastodon like a secret, exclusive club. In 3+ years on here, I think I've told 3 people IRL about it. When they showed zero interest in it, I was like, oh thank god.
@the_etrain I think people on traditional social media either 1. like it or 2. they sort of like it, but really like bitching about it, and have no desire to search for a better alternative.
